Asset tracking
Asset tracking in Review Monster's CRM is built for dumpster rental and portable storage companies. Every unit has a number, and every unit that's out sits on a map at the customer's address, with its photo and how long it's been there.
It also keeps count by date. Each delivery holds a unit of its size for the length of the rental, so you know what's free on any day before you promise it to anyone.
Every unit on the map
At drop-off the driver picks the unit number on the job from a list of what's in the yard. From then on the unit shows on the map at that address, as a pin with its photo and a color for how long it's been sitting there.
Pickups bring it back to the yard. Relocations move it. Swaps send a fresh unit out and bring the full one back. The count in the yard updates with every move.
Availability by date
The Availability tab shows how many units of each size are free on each day, a few weeks out. A pickup booked for tomorrow frees that unit for the day after.
When you book a delivery, the new-job form tells you what's free on that date and offers the next date that fits. If a booking would take you below zero, it waits for an admin to approve or decline it.
- Free units by size and date
- Oversells need an admin's approval
- First come, first served on every booking
Extra charges that add themselves
Choose the charges you use and set their prices once. The CRM adds them to the job as they apply and recalculates when something changes. Lines you typed by hand are never touched.
- Distance from the yard
- Tonnage over what's included
- Extra days past the rental
- Dry runs
- Relocations and exchanges
- Damage waiver and surcharges
Contracts and monthly rentals
Send a rental contract for the customer to sign before the drop, and require it before payment if you want. For containers that stay for months, the CRM asks at checkout whether to bill monthly and charges the card on file each cycle.
In practice
A customer calls for a 20-yard on Friday. The office starts the job and sees zero free for Friday, but one coming back Thursday afternoon, so it's free Friday after all. On Friday the driver drops unit D-14 and picks it from the list on his phone. Two weeks later the pickup comes back at 4.2 tons with three extra days, and both charges are already on the job when the office goes to invoice it.
Step-by-step help for asset tracking is in the Help Center, with short screen recordings.
Open the Help CenterQuestions people ask
Who is asset tracking for?
Dumpster rental and portable storage companies, and any business that rents out numbered units that sit at a customer's address.
Does it need GPS trackers on each dumpster?
No. A unit's location is the address of the job it was delivered on. The driver picks the unit number on the job at drop-off.
What happens if we book more units than we have?
The booking is held and an admin is asked to approve or decline it. Nothing is oversold without someone saying yes.
Can extra days and overweight charges be added automatically?
Yes. Distance, tonnage, extra days, dry runs, relocations, exchanges, damage waivers and surcharges are added to the job when they apply, at the prices you set.
